Comment (by phoudoin):

 Replying to [comment:15 bonefish]:
 > It seems the linker script for the boot loader already defines a symbol
 `_end` (should really have a better name and definitely two underscores)
 for the aligned end of the code, so it should be rather simple to get the
 code size from within the boot loader. No jam/build magic needed.

 Would be smart, indeed. The archive could be just added right after
 haiku_loader.
 In order to do that, I guess I must modify tarfs to get haiku_loader end
 and compute the archive offset itself instead of the hardcode
 kFloppyArchiveOffset ?
 Or did I miss something?
